I hope he fits into Pep's plan somehow. We don't really play with fast-direct wingers anymore, so it would be interesting to see how he fits in.
thing is he is different to say someone like Sane....
Sane was rapid and over distance as well...not as great in tight spaces (not bad but nowhere near as good as Doku)
Doku is rapid over a few yds - unbelievably quick - which is all it takes.....against the tight defences we often play against that is more what you need and his ability to dribble in those very tight spaces is way better than someone like Sane.....its like Foden and Bernardo Silva but with more power and explosive pace - he is direct but he is also able to play in the tight spaces.
